Organix Fruit Pots review and Usborne free book offer.

We are
fans of Organix, Bug loves their tasty Goodies snacks and Lee and I love their
‘No Junk Promise’. We have been fans of
Organix since we started weaning Bug when he was around 5 months old; their
cereals and purees for little ones were loved by Bug from an early and now that
he is a busy toddler he still enjoys their purees and loves all the Goodies
snack range. He loved eating the Organix
Veg and Oat Bars when we reviewed them last year and they along with the other
savoury snacks from the Goodies range have now become a firm favourite savoury
snacks. He also loves, loves, loves the
range of Goodies organic cereal bars, a few of which he tested when we reviewed
a selection box of Organix products for Organix 20th Anniversary last
year. As we are all fans of Organix when
we were offered a few of their fruit pots for Bug I jumped at the chance.

We were
sent 2 packs of Organix Fruit Pots for Bug to taste. Each pack consists of 4 pots of pureed
fruit.

Both packs we were sent consists
of 2 flavours, with 2 pots of each flavour in the 4 pack –

Apple
& Blackcurrant and Apple & Raspberry

Apple,
Banana & Plum and Apple & Vanilla

I love
that there are a selection of flavours in these packs, giving Bug a variety of
flavours to enjoy.

The
Organix Fruit pots are perfect for little ones who are on the start of their
journey with food, allowing them to try new tastes, with the Fruit Pots being
suitable from 4 months (Organix have a disclaimer on the packaging regarding
weaning advice).

In each
pot there is only pureed fruit and a trace of absorbic acid (antioxidant). On the pack there are delightful little
pictures showing the exact ratio of fruit inside each pot. I like that in 1 pot little ones get 1 of their 5
a day.

The pureed
fruit within the pots are a completely smooth blend.

It’s all
well and good that I love the fact that the Fruit Pots live up to Organix’s ‘No
Junk Promise’ and that they are a smooth blend of pureed fruit that gives Bug 1
of his 5 a day but the real test is whether Bug finds them tasty. Bug loves his fruit and as he enjoys munching
on a whole piece of fruit I must admit he has not had any pureed fruit for a
long time now and I was not sure whether he would accept a fruit pot snack
instead of his usual snack of fresh fruit.

When I presented
Bug with his first pot he was intrigued with what I had given him as he could
tell it was not a yoghurt or fromage frias.
As soon as he had a little taste his eyes light up and little ‘mmmmm’
noises of appreciation were being made.

He swiftly
devoured the pot of fruit.

Once the
pot was empty of yummy pureed fruit he licked his lips, attempting to lick up
the mess he had created when speedily devouring the fruit pot, before asking
for more.

Bug has
loved all the flavours, enjoying them as yummy snacks. As well as enjoying them as a fruity snack on
their own, Bug has also enjoyed them mixed with porridge for his breakfast and
mixed with youghurt for a tasty treat.

The
Organix Fruit Pots are available in a range of different flavours -

* Apple
& Blackcurrant and Apple & Raspberry

* Apple,
Banana & Plum and Apple & Vanilla

* Creamy Strawberry
& Apple

* Apple
& Blueberry

* Pear, Apple
& Raspberry

* Apple
& Cherry and Apple & Banana

* Apple
& Strawberry and Apple & Peach

* Apple
& Mango

A few of
the fruit pots are blended with other ingredients to make a fruity breakfast
snack and fruity puddings for little ones to enjoy -

* Banana Porridge

* Apple &
Peach Rice Pudding

* Apple &
Mango Rice Pudding

There are
a few fruit pots that Bug has not tried previously that I am going to keep my
eye out for when shopping as these fruit pots have been a big hit and enjoyed
as a tasty snack and I think I am going to have to stock up on some more as I think
he will want ‘more’. Unfortunately my
local supermarket does not stock a great range so I might order some online as I
think he would love the Apple & Mango in particular as they are his
favourite fruits and I have never seen that flavour before.

If the
fact that the fruit pots are wholesome, tasty and provide 1 of your 5 a day is
not enough to tempt you to get some for your little one to enjoy then perhaps
the current offer they have on their packs may sway you to get a couple of
packs. Organix have teamed up with
Usborne to run a free book offer on the Organix Fruit Pots (offer runs until
30/06/13). If you buy 2 packs of Organix
Fruit Pots you can send off for a free book from the Usborne “That’s not my….” range
of books (£1.50 postage cost applies).

We are
sending off for our book and hopefully I will be able to find somewhere local
to get a few more packs of the fruit pots to get a few more books whilst the
offer is still on. As our little family
are big fans of book with Bug a little book-worm in the making I love this
offer and as Bug loves the “That’s not my….” books, with their repetitive textured
patches on each page, I love the offer even more!
